Azura Benguerra Island | Benguerra Island
Imagine an unspoilt island within a pristine Marine National Park. Miles of deserted beaches with soft white sand. Sparkling turquoise seas, crisscrossed by local dhow boats plying their trade. Swaying palms, gentle breezes, sunny days and star studded nights. Welcome to Azura Benguerra Island. Built entirely by hand in partnership with the local community, there are 18 spacious ’beach-chic’ designer villas, each with their own private pool stretching out to the Indian Ocean beyond, and located a few steps from the pristine white sand beach. They offer discerning guests every comfort, with handcrafted king size beds, feature bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers, air-conditioning, daybeds, lounging decks and salas right on the beach. They were designed for the ultimate getaway in this magnificent beach paradise.
Azura offers a vast range of guided activities and experiences for you to enjoy, including world class snorkelling, fishing and scuba diving from their Padi 5 star dive centre. Take a tour of the island, visit the community, and the school that their Rainbow Fund registered charity built for the islanders. Go Island hopping by boat or by helicopter, enjoy a cocktail in your beachfront sala, drinks in the star bar, dinner in their wine cellar, or a relaxing massage at their unique African Spa. Your days are tailored around your wishes, to do as much or as little as you would like. Their ‘designed to give back’ ethos, supports a range of community initiatives for their décor items, and is evident throughout Azura, and provides an added area of interest for our guests. Dining is all part of the experience, from breakfast at the water’s edge, to a full service picnic on a sandy island, or romantic dining on a candle-lit beach beneath the stars. Your hosts take pride in their innovative dining set-ups, and little touches to make your stay special.
